Demo checklist
Updated 2026-10-16. Checked 2026-10-16.
Only two rewards are described as permanent misses in chapter 1: the Black Garb, and the Elixir from the Citrine Pot. Everything else on this list is a chest count, not a claim that I opened all 31 castle chests myself.
The castle figure of 31 chests is a database layout, and several entries are still named “unnamed item.” I left those unnamed. Inventing loot would be worse than a short list.
Do these before you leave
Black Garb (physical defense 26, magic defense 23, speed 8) is chest 6 during the castle fire, through a gap left of the baron’s door after Hell’s Rider. Once you leave, guards close the path.
Chests 7 and 8 in that castle stay shut in the demo. The door says the area is closed for now.
| Place | Chests |
|---|---|
| Commercial District | 3 |
| Earth Shrine | 8 |
| Grandshelt Castle | 31 |
| Royal Capital | 4 |
| Town of Mitra | 5 |
| Grandport Harbor | 2 |
| Oblivion Palace | 25 |
| Siren’s Tower | 7 |
| Village of Kol | 2 |
| Kolobos Ruins | 4 |
| Town of Felicitas | 4 |
Questions
What else closes?
Two temporary soldier shops, at Earth Shrine and in the burning castle, sell three Smoke Bombs each and then shut.
